Coco Ichiban substitute in the US?!?
I came back to the US recently from a visit to Japan. I went to a place called Coco Ichiban Curry House and loved their chicken culet curry, I was wondering if anyone knows of a place with similar taste in the NYC area, i heard of a restaurant called GoGo Curry House in NY, has anyone tried their curry?
